customizing a toolbar

[DataMiner]

Hi,
I was trying to customize a toolbar by adding the "size to shortest", "size to narrowest", etc., stuff from the format menu. The first item, "size to tallest", I just clicked and dragged from the format menu onto my toolbar, and that worked fine....except that it disappeared from the format menu. Then, I tried to drag "size to tallest" back to the format menu; Now it has disappeared totally from both my toolbar AND my format menu. How do I get it back???

BTW, I found out if I ctl-drag items from the format menu to my toolbar, they stay on the format menu but also appear on my toolbar. Wish I had known that before ....

i am assuming that you are doing the following: Tools | Customize

but what you are not doing is: Tools | Customize | Commands | Categories | Format and then in the commands side choose the buttons you want.


btw, ctl-drag is like copy/paste and works in all of office. so if you have a picture in powerpoint you can ctl+drag and you will get a copy.
